This year, my sports-obsessed sons are going as their favorite basketball players. We tried to suggest some alternatives, but decided that as long as they aren’t dressing as something grossly inappropriate, this is their choice to make. Pictures to come soon.

My daughter will go as a (store-bought) butterfly (purchased on clearance at Old Navy after Halloween for $8). Our mishloach manot will be super simple – and similarly fluttery. Pictures of that as well, coming soon.

We are not too creative or fancy these days. My boys are a bit older – 17 and 12 – but I work at our Sunday School, so we all “buy in’ to the costume thing. We will likely go in sports tees or jerseys from the same team. (We are Philly fans.) I do not, however, have an idea for a related mishloach manot theme. I may just try on listed here. They all seem great 🙂
